One year ago Aizen Sosuke was captured by the Shinigami and sentenced to 18,800 years in Avici, the lowest level of the underground prison. There was seemingly no escape, no way to break free. For one peaceful year the shinigami have worked to replenish their ranks and make the Soul Society stronger than ever.

Most of the Espada and Arrancar have been killed during the fight with the shinigami, however, some still remain, full of hatred. Two months ago, however, a mysterious stranger appeared in Hueco Mundo. It is known only to the Espada who this new figure is. It is their new leader. Aizen has been replaced.

One week ago there was a breakout from the lowest level of the underground prison. Aizen has escaped. However, he doesn't have the same powers he's once had. He's much weakened. Aizen travels to Hueco Mundo, thinking he can take back his leadership and remake his army, only to find there's a new leader. What's he to do?

Meanwhile, Ichigo & Co have been hitting the books and getting on with their lives when they get a message from the Soul Society about Aizen's escape and rush to help.

Mysterious killings have
been happening in the human world. Hundreds of people have been found
dead, their bodies torn open. The Shinigami are sure it's Aizen. But is
it really?

The Human World

Karakura Town is a fictional town in Tokyo where Ichigo, Inoue, Chad, and Ishida live. For the most part its a nice and peaceful place with areas that resemble today's suburbs and cities. The trouble usually appears when Hollows, and other supernatural beings appear.

Soul Society

Seireitei (The Court of Pure Souls) is where the Shinigami live. There are different districts in Seireitei, arranged in ascending order by the number of spirits leaving in an area; the more spirits, the more dangerous the area.

Rukongai (wandering soul city), also known as the Rukon District, is the largest portion of Soul Society and the most populated. It is divided into 320 districts (80 in North Rukongai, 80 in West Rukongai, etc.), each numbered in descending order on how far they are from the center; this results in the higher-numerated (and farther) districts decaying into slums.

The Gotei 13 is the organization which most Shinigami join, and one of the three main branches of military in Soul Society. It is split into thirteen divisions (hence the name), with several divisions having certain specializations. The Gotei 13 is subservient to the edicts of the Central 46 Chambers. They also have no jurisdiction over any of the noble families.

Hueco Mundo

Las Noches is a massive fortress which can be seen for miles in Hueco Mundo. It consists of a main building with a domed center surrounded by several large towers and smaller buildings. Atop the dome are six smaller towers (or as they appear), which seem to contain areas such as the Espada meeting hall.

The landscape of Hueco Mundo is a seemingly never-ending white desert, with dunes like those of the Sahara. The desert is littered with what appear to be boulders and shrivelled trees, but these are actually a form of quartz. In Hueco Mundo, the moon is on the opposite lunar phase of that in the Human world.

The Forest of Menos, introduced during an anime-only filler, is an area below the surface of Hueco Mundo's desert where the average Hollow hide from the Arrancar. Gillian- and Adjuchas-class Menos dwell here, along with possibly Vasto Lorde-class Menos. The forest is filled with large trees made of a silvery quartz substance. These trees extend to the surface and dot the landscape of the desert in Hueco Mundo.

These are journals where your character can post about what's happening in their life. Sometimes it's good to know these things so we can be up to date on the character. Only one journal per character, please.
